Short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (SCADD) is an inborn error, biochemically characterized by increased plasma butyrylcarnitine (C4-C) concentration and increased ethylmalonic acid (EMA) excretion and caused by rare mutations and/or common gene variants in the SCAD encoding gene. Although its clinical

Mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress are central to the molecular basis of several human diseases associated with neuromuscular disabilities. We hypothesize that mitochondrial dysfunction also contributes to the neuromuscular symptoms observed in patients with ethylmalonic aciduria and homozygosity for ACADS
